Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity. I. Astrophysical Tests on Galactic Scales
We explore the possibility that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate fractional gravity. In such a framework, the standard law of inertia continues to hold, but the gravitational potential associated with a given DM density distribution is determined by a modified Poisson equatio...
